If these proceeding had anything to do with justice, Assange wouldn't be in prison in the first place. This is plain political procecution with lawfare.
If law isn't a transformation of justice, it doesn't serve much purpose. And it didn't in the case of procecuting Assange. It is fundamentally unjust and an indictment of western rule of law.
That saidl, you are correct that it isn't the reason why he is in prison now.
> this kind of polemicised writing just invites critique.
The strategy with handling Assange was repeating straight lies over and over again. I don't see how polemics could be damaging at this point.

I get fiercly critiqued for being hyperbolic when I write, pressing my claim too hard. To me, this front statement made me not want to read the rest of the outrage.
